Not that I have seen hunting elk- Usually they are in some form of vehicle just cruising the roadways.
The first time I was asked was NW of Granby. I was 16, carrying my 8 mm Gewehr 88 with a .38 Enfield on my hip. I think the game warden was upset when he found I was squared away- proper license, hunters safety card, legal firearm, and kinda went away in a huff...
